Former Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang said Monday that her testimony before the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte does not have a price tag.

Tang, who testified on the existing anti-corruption laws and not on the impeachment allegations leveled against the Vice President, made the answer when asked by defense lawyer Mark Vinluan if she was promised anything by the prosecution for her testimony.

“No, sir. And I will never testify if I ever was offered anything material or otherwise,” Tang stressed.

“My testimony is not for sale, Sir,” Tang added.

Vinluan then proceeded to ask if Tang is vying for an ambassadorial position at the moment.

The retired Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice again responded no.

“No, Sir. I am retired and I want to enjoy my retirement,” Tang added.

Tang worked a lawyer in the government for 44 years, from the Supreme Court, Office of the Solicitor General and the Sandiganbayan.

Tang also handled around 1,000 cases ill-gotten wealth cases during her time at the OSG and over 700 cases in the Sandiganbayan until her retirement in November 2024. — RSJ, GMA News
